Method for Testing and Treating Delayed Food Allergies

Abstract

A method for testing, treating, and preventing delayed food allergies includes: receiving detailed symptom, medical, and dietary histories from a patient; formulating a combination of one or more food extracts at selected concentrations for sublingual administration over a trial period; determining whether the patient's symptoms have improved, worsened, or had no change, in response to the administration of the combination; and altering the combination in response to whether the patient's symptoms have improved, worsened, or not changed, so as to induce immune system food tolerance.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for testing delayed food allergies in a patient, comprising:
 receiving symptom, medical, and dietary histories from the patient;   assigning a first number according to the patient's age, assigning a second number based on the patient's asthma symptoms, assigning a third number based on the patient's headache symptoms, and assigning a fourth number based on the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms; and   adding the first number, the second number, the third number, and the fourth numbers together to determine a sum;   selecting a solution formed from a selected dilution of a custom tailored combination of food extracts based upon the sum and the symptom, medical, and dietary histories of the patient;   sublingually administering the solution to the patient;   periodically evaluating whether the patient's gastrointestinal, headache, and asthma symptoms have improved, worsened, or have not changed in response to the administration of the solution; and   periodically modifying the solution by altering the dilution of and/or the combination of food extracts within the solution based upon whether the patient's gastrointestinal, headache, and asthma symptoms have improved, worsened, or have not changed since the previous evaluation, until the patient's symptoms are reduced or eliminated.
